2013 Aston Martin DB9 promises major enhancements

|
The stunning new 2013 Aston Martin DB9 will appear for the first time at the 2012 Paris Auto Show, which opens next week.

Combining the best elements of the outgoing Virage with a more powerful engine, the DB9 boasts a number of new features and key styling upgrades, including a redesigned front grille inspired from the One-77 supercar and a more pronounced rear spoiler to further enhance its aerodynamic performance.

The new Aston Martin DB9 houses a 6.0L V12 engine that produces 510 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque through a 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. It sprints from 0-100 km/h in 4.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 295 km/h.

Priced at US$185,400, the 2013 Aston Martin DB9 will begin deliveries this November.
